Welcome Mat Gone

I have been using what I think is a public AP that one of my neighbors turned me on to.

Was working fine, then suddently I am getting d/c from the unencrypted network. Changing the mac address got me back on several times and then that stopped working.

Doing a search I find it is being run by a major phone company, an unencrypted AP.

The DHCP still assigns me an IP, but http and other requests cannot make connections according to my firewall window.

I can get back on for a few hours here and there, but eventually I am d/c.

If they're trying to block me why would they let me on for a few hours at a time and then I am d/c?

What's going on here?

How about asking the folks that run the AP?

Run a sniffer, sniff some IPS and MACS and set your IP and your MAC Addy to the same as one of their favorite users and then connect.
